Despite her disability Inga is a typical 4-year-old who has its own ideas and desires. Most of us being a child loved to chase after pigeons, didn’t we? Last weekend Inga was also chasing them on Duomo Square using her little wheelchair. We are very proud of her because she has learnt to steer it […]
Time in Milan is marked for Inga and her mum by heat and hospital appointments. To fight the heat girls go to swimming pool. It is also the best physiotherapy for Inga – both physical and mental. With a little help of pumped tube Inga “walks” on pool floor. It gives her a lot of […]
So many weeks gone since diagnosis…. But there are already 9 weeks since start treatment. Instead of watching Inga gets weaker every day now we may have a hope that she gets stronger each day. It is so great to have such a hope! We still do not know if medicine works. Maybe we want […]
Yesterday Inga’s mummy celebrated another 18th birthday. There was b-day cake of course. This year Inga helped to put candles on it. And that was the best present she could give – her independance, we hope will increase in the nearest future during clinical trial treatment. On Friday Inga had another hospital appointments. This time […]
It’s been already 7 weeks since trial started. We believe Inga gets active medicine (not placebo) and thanks to it she becomes stronger. Or maybe it is just an illusion and we see only what we want to see?… We have no clue. But we have noticed small details and signs that make us think […]
There are so many weeks since diagnosis… But what is more important we count also weeks since treatment’s start. So today we have six weeks already. This week is even more happy – Inga and her mum are back home for 10 days! It is a great feeling to be all together. Lots of people […]
It is already more than two years ago when Inga was able to stand. Since than she is able to stan only wearing splints, which bone her legs from bottom of feet up to thighs. Since we start treatment we believe that maybe one day Inga Inga will stand on her bare feet again. That […]
It’s been already a month since Inga get her first dose of medicine. Despite our family’s separation (Inga with her mum are in Italy, dad and her brother stayed at home) we are truly happy. It is a great feeling to finally have a reasoned hope for Inga’s health improvement. This week Roche company released […]
Inga has been taking medicine for 3 weeks. We will probably have to wait a few or a dozen months for the effects. However, we can already see how new hope and faith in a better tomorrow helps us in our fight against SMA. Despite the separation (girls in Italy, boys at home) days seem […]
We have noticed recently that Italy was present in our family’s life for many years: we’ve spent there honeymoon, Inga’s mum supported Italy during World Cup 2006 final in Berlin, Inga’s brother Maks supports Azzurri since he was born e.g. during 2008 and 2012 championships. When Inga was 2 months old she kept her fingers […]
